FFXI = WoW

smaku

Ok i see posts claiming one is better than the other etc... But let me tell you a few things.

I played EQ1 for a LONG ass time and had a 65 beastlord with 208aa's and a 57 wizard... I played FFXI for a long ass time as well and had a level 57 Beastmaster (yeah that used to be my style). also had multiple other jobs to use as subjobs (whm/war/rdm/drk/blm/rng) etc...

I then moved on to every other mmorpg in the  world and eventually landed in WoW. I had a 60 shaman on nethrazim named Gage, before MC was out i sold that account therefor he had no tier2+ gear... I then started a new account after a month or so off and ended up with a level 60 Warlock on Eonar... I got into the best guild on the server (Evil Empire) , ran MC / Ony / Kaz  more times than i would like to count and also began to break into BWL.

The conclusions i came to about mmorpg's is that they are all essentially the same. As much as anyone would like to think one game has huge depth and is better than others, they are all incredibly simple games with little depth (even though WoW was like a 30 million dollar project)...

 

What i am saying to you is that MMO's are a terrible waste of time.... I was one of the players with a lot of skill and experience and eventually you just get to a point where they are all the same... It's really time for a new type of mmorpg to break the ice in an original way. World War II online is a great game and very different from the rest, i suggest people try it out ( i don't actually play it anymore , i don't play any mmo's now but at least WW2OL is original)...

 

Anyways, I know it must seem like i'm saying a lot of nothing, but try to understand that every one of you that are lookign for the savior to mmo's will constantly be disappointed, because games simply cannot have the depth you are all looking for.....

 

In the end , IMO, the 2 best MMO's on the market are Shadowbane and WW2OL, both are very different from the regular games (shadowbane you can literally control the world and every city in it, although it's only been done a couple times by very skilled individuals)....

But i must say, as far as "normal" mmo's go, WoW has the best end-game out there. Blackwing Lair, MC, and even UBRS (before everyone learned the pattern to defeating it) are great instances that actually require REAL teamwork and everyone to do well. If 1 person messes up it can be game over for the entire raid (that's when you get removed from the guild).

 

SO, enjoy your mmorpg's , but don't look for something that isn't there. These games are all limited.
